Nonverbal Communication in Recruiting

Well-founded studies show that in the job interview, 80 percent of the non-verbal level of the conversation is responsible for whether the applicant and the company decide in favor of each other. This book is dedicated to precisely this unconscious level of communication, which often decides whether an applicant is accepted or rejected. It shows ways for recruiting to not only identify the most suitable applicants, but also to convince the most desirable of them to join the company. As an experienced job market manager, the author provides valuable and detailed knowledge on body language and non-verbal behavior from years of interview experience. The contents of the book are presented in a compact manner and offer tried and tested suggestions for the concrete further development of the recruiting process.
